Who is Katie Abraham, the suburban native at the center of the latest deportation campaign?

The Department of Homeland Security is dedicating a Chicago deportation “blitz” to Katie Abraham, one of two suburban women killed in an Urbana drunken driving crash earlier this year involving a Guatemalan man who lacked legal status and fled the scene.

President Donald Trump and Republicans had previously highlighted the case and called Abraham’s family “angel parents,” a term the administration has used to describe relatives of victims killed by people who lack legal status.

Both of Abraham’s parents also attended a June 12 House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing centered on immigration policy, which featured several hours of testimony by Gov. JB Pritzker, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Abraham, 20, of Glenview, and 21-year-old Chloe Polzin of Deerfield, were killed in a Jan. 19 hit-and-run crash while visiting the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Three others in the car were also injured.

The Abraham family has been vocal about their daughter’s death — and blaming Illinois Democrats for sanctuary policies as they argue the country needs stricter vetting policies.

“Katie was killed by someone who really could have been vetted and not been in this country, and she would be here with us today,” Joe Abraham, Katie’s father, said in a video released by DHS.
